#1 - Sponsored Walk/Run/Cycle.
Most Youth Age Groups will Have on Average 15-20 young Superstars.
Sign Them up to do a sponsored Walk/Run/Cycle on a Matchless Weekend, instead of sitting in front of the Dreaded Xbox or PlayStation.
Asking Parents, Relatives and Friends of the family to Sponsor.
say each Players Can Get £1 from 20 People. that could work out to be a Staggering £400!!
#2 - Tea/Coffee Cookie Stand.
Cold wet winter days can be hard enough for the players. let alone the Fantastic Spectators up and down the Country on a Daily and Weekly Basis Cheering on their Superstars.
And apart from seeing your Child or Team Perform to the best of their capabilities nothing warms the soul like a nice hot cup of Tea or Coffee or maybe even Hot Chocolate and a snack to go with it.
so why not set up a Tea and Coffee Stand and Warm the Fans whilst raising money for your club.
If your clubs got a Clubhouse Speak with them see if they can open up as most People would be more then happy to
part with a few pounds if it keeps them warm and refreshed.
If Your not in a Position to do that maybe club together with others
and Buy your own Tea and Coffee urns. this Will continue to raise money for your Team and Club Week on Week.
